Dick Tupper Community Service Award

|

Farmington/Farmington Hills Neighborhood House, an affiliate of the Farmington Area Goodfellows, is a non-profit, community-based agency that assists our residents by providing temporary assistance with food, clothing and/or financial support. We also act as a referral agency to other resources within ourcommunity, including churches and social agencies, in an effort to assist our neighbors in regaining their well-being in the wake of economic hardship.

Neighborhood House was established by Dick Tupper, a Farmington resident and business owner, over 25 years ago. He was dedicated to our community, spent countless hours helping others and whole heartedly giving of himself. To honor Dick’s giving spirit and commitment to others, our organization is seeking nominations of a deserving individual for the Second Annual Dick Tupper Community Service Award to be presented at a reception on April 16, 2015 at Longacre House.

We need your help to make this happen. First, we need nominations of individual(s) that you believe exhibit Dick Tupper’s giving spirit; someone who have spent their time and talents helping others improve the quality of their lives in our community. Secondly, Neighborhood House is in need of monetary sponsorships to help underwrite the costs of this fundraiser.
